*cough* Spotlight*cough*
awesome dude! gratz!

Also, I want to see a video of people playing on it. The fly through was nice for what it was, but a little boring. If you want to show it off, you got to have action! Go make a gameplay one! naow!

I played this yesterday. I gotta say when you first announced a koth version I was a little sceptical.

But I really liked it, in fact I might like it a bit more than arena now. It gives you that small area, tight quarters battle ground of arena without the sit-out times.
